		<h1>Lombok experimental features</h1>
		<div class="index overview">
			Experimental features are available in your normal lombok installation, but are not as robustly supported as lombok's main features.
			In particular, experimental features:<ul>
				<li>Are not tested as well as the core features.</li>
				<li>Do not get bugs fixed as quickly as core features.</li>
				<li>May have APIs that will change, possibly drastically if we find a different, better way to solve the same problem.</li>
				<li>May disappear entirely if the feature is too difficult to support or does bust enough boilerplate.</li>
			</ul>
			Features that receive positive community feedback and which seem to produce clean, flexible code will eventually become accepted
			as a core feature and move out of the experimental package.

				<dd>Immutable 'setters' - methods that create a clone but with one changed field.</dd>
				<dt><a href="onX.html"><code>onMethod= / onConstructor= / onParam=</code></a></dt>
				<dd>Sup dawg, we heard you like annotations, so we put annotations in your annotations so you can annotate while you're annotating.</dd>
